/**
 * Calculates the position of a Triangle's centroid, which is also its center of mass (center of gravity).
 *
 * The centroid is the point in a Triangle at which its three medians (the lines drawn from the vertices to the bisectors of the opposite sides) meet. It divides each one in a 2:1 ratio.
